The group is called "The Linux Userspace API (UAPI) Group", and according to their home page, it consists of from people from Ubuntu Core, Debian, GNOME OS, Fedora CoreOS, Endless OS, Arch Linux, SUSE, Flatcar, systemd, image-builder/osbuild, mkosi, tpm2-software, System Transparency, buildstream, BTRFS, bootc, composefs, (rpm-)ostree, Microsoft, Amazon, and Meta. You are free to disagree with this design, but please don't call the people behind it idiots. I am pretty sure there are plenty of very competent people who have given this a lot of thought.
